Many residents in the Muskoka region are seasonal. As an incredible cottage region with a variety of recreational and community amenities, our area is the ideal place for owning a second home. Knowing that we have a greater number of seasonal residents compared to permanent ones, the District of Muskoka understands the importance of working with our seasonal residents when it comes to community services and resources.

With this in mind, the District of Muskoka has opened up their latest Second Home Study. This anonymous online survey gives seasonal residents the chance to weigh in on important considerations such as infrastructure, healthcare and community programs. Residents can also request a printed copy to complete via the official website, but all responses are due by August 31, 2017.

There are not only questions about resources and services within the Muskoka region, but also about household demographics and future plans, including whether or not a permanent move to the area is planned. The results of the study will be available by the end of the year. With the data complied, local business, government agencies and organizations can make improvements towards meeting the needs and desires of the significant seasonal population in the region.

The last Second Home Study was done in 2013; a lot has changed since then. If you are a seasonal resident and want your voice heard, we encourage you to complete the District of Muskoka Second Home Study. As a region which connects through community, this is a great opportunity to make a difference.
